Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7211.19.30.00Same rate: 35%

If width of 300 mm or more but less than 600 mm

High-strength steel flat-rolled products in this width range fall under the next subheading in 7211.19

7208.51.00Same rate: 35%

If in coils

Hot-rolled nonalloy steel coils of width <600mm classify in heading 7208, not straightened strips

7211.23Lower: 10% vs 35%

If cold-rolled after hot-rolling

Cold-rolled high-strength steel moves to 7211.23 regardless of 'further worked' status

Import Tips & Compliance

Certify minimum yield point of 275 MPa for thickness <3mm at entry per U.S. note (a); maintain mill test certificates

Verify width under 300mm and hot-rolled condition only—no polishing, coating or cladding allowed

Avoid duty allowance claims for rust/discoloration per Chapter 72 note—no reductions granted
